Reheating Frozen Meat

War_Eagle_2244 · November 2012

Someone mentioned reheating frozen pork in another message I posted & I thought I would share a technique that I don’t remember seeing on here before.

When I do a butt, I usually have a good bit of left over. I like to freeze 2-3 portion sizes in a regular Ziploc freezer bag. When I’m ready to use it, I will fill the kitchen sink with lukewarm water and let the meat thaw in the bag. Usually only takes about 20-30 min. Then, I put the meat in a double boiler/steamer and let it steam for a few minutes and & sometimes mix in a little BBQ sauce. Works really well and keeps it from drying out. Anyway, just thought I would pass it along.

Good topic this time of year. Leftover turkey comes to mind as well.

One variation I found a couple of years ago when i was looking to reheat pp at a tailgate was to freeze and seal the meat in Foodsaver bags . Take it out of the freezer and drop into nearly boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Once thawed and warmed through pour into pan, mix in a little sauce or Coca-Cola (pulled pork) and serve. Was very impressed with the finished product.

**One note, be reasonable (2 lbs) on what you freeze in one bag or you may end up needing alot more time than planned to thaw and heat.

I use foodsaver bags and distribute the leftover meat so the thickness is even before freezing. Makes it thaw and reheat very quickly.
